PALANGKA RAYA - Member of the Palangka Raya City DPRD, Central Kalimantan, M Khomal Nasery supports the policy of the local city government to issue a circular letter (SE) for the Mayor. This SE is an effort to anticipate the occurrence of fuel shortages (BBM) at a number of Public Fuel Filling Stations (SPBU). The purchase of two-wheeled vehicle fuel only fills a maximum of IDR 50,000, while four-wheelers are IDR 200 thousand. Meanwhile, two and four-wheeled vehicles when refueling are prohibited from using modified tanks, using jerry cans, drums and other types. "The Circular of the Mayor of Palangka Raya Number 750/50/PKUMP/Dag.1/VI/2022 regarding the regulation of restrictions on the purchase of Pertalite and Bio Solar fuel, is very good so that there are no longer long queues," he said in Palangka Raya, Antara, Friday, June 8. With the arrangement from the local municipal government, of course this can have a positive impact on the community who have also complained about the difficulty of getting fuel at gas stations. This is because the noise at the gas station, especially regarding the long queues that were still happening a few weeks ago, will not end if it is not regulated as it is today. "We ourselves feel how difficult it is to face the scarcity of Pertalite and Bio Solar fuels, resulting in long queues," he complained. The Golkar Party politician also emphasized that due to the scarcity and difficulty in getting the fuel, it was indicated that it was the work of a group of people, who deliberately hoarded it, thus affecting its availability in the field. As a result, sooner or later it will have a broad impact, one of which is that the price of basic necessities will experience a significant increase in the community. "Although not all parties accept this, but more people support the attitude of the Palangka Raya City Government through the SE," he said. Chemal also hopes that the local municipal government will form a team consisting of the Palangka Raya City Regional Leadership Communication Forum (Forkopimda) to supervise gas stations. If a gas station violates the mayor's SE, the gas station can be given sanctions. "The sanction is none other than the closure of the gas station's operations because it has violated and basically the mayor's SE," said Chemal Nasery. Meanwhile, based on field observations, the Head of Trade at the Trade, Cooperatives, Small and Medium Enterprises, Palangka Raya City, Hadriansyah, together with his team, intensively supervised every gas station in the local area. The results were maximized, with the restrictions on purchasing fuel, queues of vehicles, both two-wheeled and four-wheeled, no longer long queues to the highway anymore.
